Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Bounds Green
At Lawn Mowing Bounds Green we set out a clear, uncompromising stance: we operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across all operations. This statement explains how Bounds Green lawn mowing activities, subcontracting and procurement practices are governed to prevent exploitation. Our leadership affirms that every member of the team, every contractor and every supplier must comply with this policy as a condition of engagement.
Our zero-tolerance commitment is supported by explicit contractual obligations for all suppliers and partners who provide goods and services to Lawncare Bounds Green. We require written assurances, rights to audit and the immediate remediation of any issues identified. In the event of any breach, we will take proportionate corrective action up to termination of contracts and, where appropriate, referral to enforcement authorities. We will not tolerate situations where people are exploited in the course of delivering mowing services in Bounds Green.
Supplier Audits, Due Diligence and Risk-Based Monitoring
Our procurement process for mowing and grounds maintenance takes a risk-based approach. We carry out pre-qualification checks, require evidence of lawful right to work and apply enhanced due diligence for higher-risk suppliers. Regular supplier audits and site visits form a core part of our compliance monitoring. Where third-party labour providers are involved, we verify payroll and working conditions to detect indicators of forced labour, wage withholding or abusive practices.
We maintain a register of suppliers and conduct periodic reviews. For higher-risk vendors we perform deeper assessments, including documentary checks and interviews. Our audit program covers challenging areas commonly associated with exploitation: subcontracted labour, temporary staff, and overseas recruitment. Bounds Green lawncare suppliers are expected to demonstrate continuous improvement and to adopt best practices consistent with national human rights standards.
To drive transparency we include specific anti-slavery clauses in procurement documentation and retain the right to inspection. Failure to satisfy audit requirements triggers escalation to senior management and may lead to suspension of work until corrective measures are implemented.
Reporting Channels, Training and Worker Access
We provide secure, confidential reporting channels for workers, subcontractors and the public to raise concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical conduct in our supply chain. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and escalated as necessary. Our grievance and whistleblowing procedures protect whistleblowers from retaliation, and investigation outcomes are documented. Training on modern slavery awareness is mandatory for managers engaged in recruitment, procurement and supplier oversight.
Lawn Mowing Bounds Green supports worker voice by encouraging open communication and by ensuring that those performing mowing services in Bounds Green know how to report exploitation. We deliver periodic briefings and accessible materials to on-site staff and subcontractor crews, emphasising indicators of exploitation and the process for raising issues. This is reinforced by contractor induction and site signage where appropriate.
Governance for this Statement is vested in senior leadership. We conduct an annual review of our policies, risk assessments and audit outcomes to ensure continuous improvement. The review evaluates the effectiveness of supplier audits, the adequacy of reporting channels and the impact of training initiatives. Where gaps are identified we set time-bound action plans and allocate responsibilities to drive remediation across the business and supply chain.
